Genetic Diversity Indicator Testing Kobo v3.0 Manual
This guide will help you work through theKobo Form for the
Genetic Indicator Testing project.Kobo Toolbox was chosen as
the platform for the manual data collecting as it provided a way to
build such a complex form, allows the form to be shared widely, and
allows the user to collect data both online and offline .
This manual will provide detailed advice on how to answer each question,
with examples if necessary. Along with the overallProject
Guidance document, you should have all the information necessary to
complete a species assessment.
In the Kobo Form, questions are presented sequentially with some
explanatory text and without numbering, but in this document, we
numbered the questions and provide, to the left of each question, a code
regarding the format of the expected answer, whether it is mandatory,
and if it is linked to another question (Table 1). Should you wish to
carry out an assessment using a pdf or word document, these codes help
identify the questions and answers that are being asked. NOTE :
in general when entering multiple values to answer a given
question, use semicolons (;) for separation , not commas!
Table 1. Codes used to qualify questions in the Kobo Form. For each
question, sequentially numbered codes provide information on the format
of the expected answers, whether a response is mandatory and whether the
question is linked to another question.
